Meet Restaurant Operator

James Novak

Serving others has been at the heart of my career—first as a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot for 20 years, and now as the Owner-Operator of this Chick-fil-A Restaurant. The leadership, discipline, and commitment to excellence I developed in naval aviation continue to guide how I run my business and care for our Guests and Team Members every day. While I'm part of a larger organization, as an Owner-Operator, I'm an individual business partner of Chick-fil-A. This brings both responsibility and accountability, which benefits everyone who walks through our doors. It also allows me to bring a local flavor to the Restaurant and build something truly special for our community. Just as I once served my country, I now have the privilege of serving this community. I actively get involved with local schools, charities, and community events that matter to our neighbors and team. Whether it's supporting a school fundraiser or participating in local initiatives, I'm committed to making our community life better and more enjoyable. Living out Chick-fil-A's values—caring for people, caring for communities, and caring for our planet—is both my mission and my pleasure. I love meeting people in our community, so if you happen to see me around the Restaurant, please take a few minutes to introduce yourself. As someone who's built a career on service, I truly look forward to getting to know you.
